From Linux Servers to Trains
Posted on July 17, 2006 under My World.
Ok, so I know I didn't post on the website in a long while... actually the website hasn't been up and running for a good month, either.
Well lots of things happened lately. I did manage to roll out a new version of my website recently and I will try to take steps in keeping it up to date. The Linux server suffered an upgrade in the last month, I moved from SuSE 9.3 to SuSE 10.1 running PHP5 on Lighttpd and Ruby on Rails with Mongrel, everything neatly gated by Pound. Yeah was a big step, and i'm still touching up the details... but it's working.
At the same time I managed to start a new hobby... sort of... maybe... I did dream since I was a kid to have an electric train set. I finally moved my butt and purchased one from the local hobbytown... really worth it, went all crazy about it... and planning to get into making a model town. I did like building all kind of weird cardstock model since I was little (driving my folks crazy handling scissors at an early age) and I think it's time to reconnect to that. Plus it'll likely keep me away from the computer screen for extended periods of time... which is good... i think! Unless I'll write software to control a model trainset from the comp... or do the planning on it...
So anyhow... i'm excited... and a bit overwhelmed at the moment... so i'll hang up... for now...
